Year’s end,
all corners
of this floating world, swept.

Fabulous photo DK — Happy New Year to you and yours! One of my favourite sayings for this time of year is one I learned while at school in Germany – “guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr” – the loose translation is … ‘have a good slide into the New Year’ ❤
